Lock 8 Gateway Park

Welland Canal View

Port Colborne's Gateway Park has a nice, elevated area that allows for a great view of Welland Canal Lock 8. The ships are very close as they move slowly through the lock. Lock 8 is a leveling lock, so the height of the lift here is very minimal compared to the other locks on the canal.
